Since we have the latest London Fork scammers are very quick to take advantage of the hype and create this scam giveaways website and put Coinbase name to put credibility on it.

So just be careful out there guys. And hopefully, no one will fall for this trick.

Good catch, these criminals are not going to stop, specially that Ethereum is on a bull run because of their recent iterations. Yeah, I do hope that even newbies will used their logical thinking and not to fall for this scheme.

We just need to used our mind and know that this is scam because Coinbase will not going to give free ETH or even double it.

I just check the ETH address and it seems that it is black listed already:

Warning! There are reports that this address was used in a Phishing scam. Please exercise caution when interacting with this address.

Eth iterations served as a signal to all defi and major projects to step up. Their movement is really a game changer. See how those scammers takign advantage of it. Most of these scammers are literally updated on everything they worth on. Mentioning coinbase on their giveaway is really an eye catching to those who love free money but then again. Make sure that you are joinign a real one or else.

Good catch OP.

Yes, it's very good that the ETH was reported as well and been tag as a phishing scam so that not a single person could become a victim.

But I'm expecting more and similar websites coming as the London Fork is still very hype at this point. The cyber criminals will just re-invent themselves but possible that they will be the same people behind on an incoming websites with the same purpose.

Thanks for sharing it with us. The domain name itself telling "this site is a scam, don't enter in this site". Surprising? Not at all. Because it's looking suspicious, I have been avoiding this kind of domain always. Besides that, we should think why should someone will send me funds for doing nothing? I always keep in mind, nothing is free in the world. So just ignore is the better policy to save our funds.

What is really surprising is that the eth address... has been reported and it's flagged on etherscan.io as a phishing address. This proves that the community is quite active in reporting/fighting scams.
To take down the website, please report it to namecheap via this email: abuse @ namecheap.com

Again, this will not stop them but at leat it will slow them down.

With a report that the ETH address already has a phishing wallet warning, it will help beginners a little to check first that it is phishing, I see at that address there are no funds or any transactions, this possibility is still not trapped but I'm grateful if that really happens, hopefully for those who don't know, they already understand how the phishing site system always offers big refunds.

I will report this attempt to slow down a bit for those who are still active at the moment and hope for a quick response that this site should be shut down as soon as possible.

I have reported it to google for a (hopefully) fast response to take it down as well:

It will just take 5 minutes or less of our time, the community need to work together to at least make the cryptosphere with one less scamming site.
